C#: Check if local port is bound
Sometimes it is neccessary to check if a certain port is already bound by another application. Using .NET for this task is very comfortable and easy.
Open Root Server Network shutdown
The Open Root Server Network (ORSN) team decided to shutdown the project by 2008/12/31 00:00 (UTC). The ORSN operates since 2002 an alternative network for the Domain Name System (DNS) that in contrast to the official root servers ICANN and IANA had early IPv6 support.
Although in the course of the discussion about the DNS Safety DNSSEC it gets quite clear that such an alternative is neccessary.
